On Thursday, September 14th, LASİAD (Laleli Industrialists and Businessmen Association) held an evaluation meeting at Laleli Wyndham Hotel with the executives of the companies participating in the VI. Laleli Fashion Shopping Festival. In his opening speech, LASİAD Vice President of the Board of Directors, Muhammed Sancaktar, stated, “We organized our 6th Festival this year. Initially, our biggest goal when we embarked on this journey was to promote the image, recognition, and awareness of Laleli. We believe that with the organization we have conducted, we have somewhat elevated it, and there is evidence of that. If we wanted to advertise Laleli in the national, local, print, and visual media, we would have had to spend approximately 1.5 million dollars. We thought it was necessary to do things that would benefit the tradesmen. Collaborating with IHKIB, ITO, and the Ministry of Economy, we decided to organize procurement committees. As a result of good effort, procurement committees come here. We are in a pot, and this pot is Laleli. The better Laleli is promoted, the more we all benefit,” he continued.
The meeting continued by gathering the opinions of company executives. The evaluation meeting was attended by the managers of Alpiro, Alvan Kids, Arya, Carducci, Civil, Diamond Gold, Donarosa, DossoDossi, Fimka, İntersan, Kima, La Chere, Lasiea, Özkan Shoes, Sahra Foods, and Velvet.
Representing LASİAD, Vice President of the Board of Directors Muhammed Sancaktar, Festival Committee Chairman İbrahim Murat Ramizoğlu, Vice Presidents of the Board of Directors Barış Köseliören, Ahmet Turan, Board Members İrfan Akbaş, Arif Özkan, Coşkun Melengiç, Tarık Nayman, Rıfat Opan, and General Secretary Şerafettin Yüzüak participated in the evaluation meeting.
